To be honest I am getting a little tired of our players coming out and stating the obvious.
Yes, we all know that this league is wide open and anyone who strings a good run together can put themselves into contention for automatic promotion.
This phenomena is no different to last season or the season before that!
At the start of the season most Forest fans agreed that the new players would need a couple of months to gel !
I think the team as proved that they have gelled and now need to start delivering the goods ie putting together a good sustained unbeaten run! or even better a run of 7 or 8 victories
In many games we are dominating teams with our good passing football style and all we need to do is start hitting the onion bag more often.
Its time for the lads to stop talking about what is needed and start getting on with producing the good week in week out.
In many of the drawn games this has been our only failing.
Before those posters with Red coloured blinkers on accuse me of being disloyal this is not a criticism of the team but more of an observation that the time is right for the lads to step up a gear and show they are ready for the Prem.
An emphatic win against Leicester could be the start of our "Good run"

You forget tp mention attendances SnennyRam. Yours are dropping faster than Jordan's knickers. Strange not seen you since August when you kept posting drivel about how we were going to get relegated blah blah blah. You go above us 1 point and back you come like a nasty rash. Its still early days and you are about due your annual bad run. Don't forget this time last season you were way above us after your best start to a season for 100 years but still finished bottom half for the 4th year running.

Guediora played well last night. But I do think he should stop trying to hit the away fans with his shots. Hopefully, when a big team comes they can fill the lower tier of the Bridgeford Stand, and his shots will be nearer the net!
MickeyColosus marks out of ten
Camp 6 - distribution, was slow and woeful.
Harding 4 - Hopefully he had a slight knock. He was very slow, and was nearly responsible for 2 goals.
Halford 8 - gets better by the game. His size and the way he runs gives a false impression. Is underrated by most.
Collins 7 - Steady again, without much else.
Ward 7 - Looked very confident and solid. Could turn out to be a good un'.
Reid 7 - Seems to be fading, game on game. Maybe needs a rest, but think we would miss his energy. Missed a sitter, or was he trying to back heel it, or was he leaving it?
Guediora 7 - Not yet up to last season's standard. But maybe he's playing with better players. Think he will do well if he gets a run in the team. He needs to quell his enthusiasm when about to shoot.
Gillett 7- Another all action display. Another player who I don't think gets the recognition he deserves. Fantastic at breaking up play. And must have nicked the ball of Boro 4 times last night.
Cohen 7 - Gave his all as usual.
Cox - 7 Massive improvement from Saturday. Starting to link up nicely with Sharp.
Sharp - 8 Would have been ten if he had scored. Another day, and he would have had a hat trick. Mind you, I have said that before.
Sean 7 - We should have won this game. The defense and attack seem to be improving, but the midfield sometimes look all over the place. Don't think some of the midfield players know what they are supposed to be doing. Not convinced that we are that much of a passing team. Lots of hit it and hope. Bringing on three subs with a couple of minutes left is pointless. Think Halfords throw-ins are not made the most of.

Good posting Husky, I would agree with all of that. Although we only saw a very small glimpse, Lansbury looks as though he could well be the player that can play that elusive defence splitting pass that you talk of. Cohen is great but he was a bit predictable last night and their defenders looked really comfortable with the diagonal ball. still a lot better than this time last season though.

Promotion contenders what twaddle.
The only thing Forest have done in the last 14 years is that they have not even seen the prem, played 3 seasons with the deadbeats of the third division, mauled by 10 men Derby on their own rented turf and wasted millions on useless players.
Can't stop laughing.

Actually, the substitutes were brought on with 1 minute 47 seconds of normal time remaining.
A weird night when the post match comments by Radio Nottingham seemed a lot more positive than it looked, being at the match.
In truth Forests passing wasn't brilliant and the final ball reminded me of last season for much of the time. Cohen and Cox did a good job holding up the ball, but the MOTM was probably the ref!
It was scrappy not fluent, against a Boro side that did give us the space to do better (unlike Millwall). Of course we had a couple of decent chances, but we were well below our best again.
Guediora seems a little short on confidence and Reid was off his game too. Gillet was his ever reliable self, but we seemed to lack the guile that Radi can bring to split the defence and open things up. The crossed ball into the box was easily dealt with by Boro all night, but we kept on doing it over and over again.
Not a disaster, but I hope the team are learning from the days when things dont quite click.

Morning fellow tricky tree's...wish i was a plastic radio fan instead of having to watch this tripe on a tuesday evening again SOD set up for a draw and had no intention of trying to win a winnable game. 11th in the league now and getting closer and closer to the religation zone (as preeeeeeeedicted). and with Leicester to come live on tv our humilation will be complete.
TIME TO SACK SOD AND JFH AND BRING BACK MEGOSN.
talking of megson, i think all the forest fans will be pleased to know so far i have raised £83,000 for the silver statue of nottingham foresr's finest manager Magnificent Megson, still another £117,00 to go so if any of you want to contribute please feel free to make a donation.
after yates yesterday afternoon i placed £500 on forest, man city, arsenal and real madrid (all seperate bets to draw 2-2) and got a return of £52,500....sorry i dident post all predictions on this site as i could not get on to it :( but i did post them on twistter AND facebook and have confirmation 3,017 people placed bets on them,,so a good xmas to be had for my many followers.
Think i am going to need a caluclator to work out the drumming Leicster will give us but rest assure when i do come up with score you will be the first to know.
Right i must dash im spending some of the 50k i won to buy toys for the kiddies unit at the qmc.
NOT THE SORT OF GUY TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I TOLD YOU SO. reid scoring 1st at 12-1 was just one of many wonderful tips i gave you all this season and they is plenty more to come from nottinghams finest tipster"
ENOUGH OF TALKING ABOUT THIS PROMOTION NONSENCE

Thats a regular trademark of sod .i work in a donny factory & it happened all the time 5 & less minutes left thats fine when your 3-0 up but 15+ mins keeps guys match sharp & gives maximum impact in the game ..all in all was a good game last night a bit like the blackburn game .it was there for the taking .the only concern is we seem sluggish on the counter but a match for any side in the league on the day
